Here's why you should join: first and foremost as a member you will receive dividends once the co-op is making money, second members help make decisions within the co-op (1 member = 1 vote), third as a member you will have lower commission fees (founding members: 6.5%, members, members: 8%, non-members: 9.5%) for the first two years.
